It is a mix of techniques. Its hard to explain but it started as a 3d model rendered in a 3d ELEMENT plugin for after effects. I used some photos and custom brushes and painted all over it for about 4 Hours. Thank you!

Oh, wow this is gorgeous!! I love the shading on the building, the deer, the building base and the bus and the streetlights, looks very beautifully oppressive in a nature kind of way, and I especially love those druid-like giant trees both behind the bus and partly in on either far side of the image!! I also love how the image is such a delicious mix of both: destroyed, collapsed road, buildings, street-posts and wreckages, and a rocky landscape of overgrowth, sunlight, deer and long-ago apocalyptic havoc!!! Looks like a real little scene of the aftermath of a long-ago earthquake!! With the misty-grey effect in the background on the left-hand side, the blend of destroyed city and overgrowing nature looks beautiful and pretty in so many aspects!!
